Las Hurdes (1933)
Long before Blair Witch

This film is a sort of experiment in gullibility. I fell for it.
If you pay close attention, what the narrator actually contradicts himself several times. The presentation is so National Geographic that I could not help but believe everything that the narrator says- even when he's clearly speaking pure nonsense.
As the film progressed, I gradually caught on to the hoax, and I am intrigued by it. There have been a few fine hoaxes in the film world, among them F for Fake and the Blair Witch Project, but I find this one more amusing. It is as though Bunuel wants to see how far he can go.
I have been told that many anthropology departments in many universities kept copies of this film.
